[ALSA] es1938 - improve capture hw pointer reads

Browse Source 
With the Solo1 (es1938) I got a lot of xrun's during capture on my machine.
Tracing that down it seems to be comming from reading ocassionaly bad hw
pointers from the chip.  This patch uses more checking to avoid that false
pointer reads.
Failed reads are giving back the last good value read instead of spinning in
a tight loop, which seems more appropriate to me in an interrupt. I think I
saw this trick used in another driver

/* during the incrementing of dma counters the DMA register reads sometimes
returns garbage. To ensure a valid hw pointer, the following checks which
should be very unlikely to fail are used:
- is the current DMA address in the valid DMA range ?
- is the sum of DMA address and DMA counter pointing to the last DMA byte ?
One can argue this could differ by one byte depending on which register is
updated first, so the implementation below allows for that.
